Forever the Highlands by Samantha Young Review & Release Blitz!

 Forever the Highlands by Samantha Young is now live!




 

He’s her brother’s best friend. She’s totally off-limits. But when life takes an unexpected turn, she’s the only one he wants at his side…

 

Fyfe Moray raised himself. His only real family is his best friend, Lewis Adair. For that reason, Lewis’s sister Eilidh is totally off-limits. Fyfe is in deep denial about their intense attraction. Thankfully, Eilidh is a famous actor living in London while he runs his cyber security company from the Highlands. They’re worlds apart. Until one day, Eilidh reaches out asking for a lifeline and Fyfe can’t bring himself to turn her away.

 

Acting isn’t what Eilidh Adair expected. As a kid, she wanted to be just like her famous uncles. But the double-edged sword of fame cuts deeper than expected. Afraid to admit she’s made a mistake, Eilidh is spiraling. The only person who knows the truth is Fyfe, but her childhood crush has developed into a love he won’t return. Yet when she comes home intent on starting over, Fyfe can’t seem to stay away. His confused feelings might just be the end of them. Until a woman from Fyfe’s past abandons the baby daughter he never knew he had.

 

Now a single father, Fyfe needs support. He just never expected Eilidh to be the one he needed most. Fyfe can’t believe how quickly he falls for his child and how rapidly his world view changes. He’s ready to admit the truth: he’s madly in love with his best friend’s sister. And Fyfe’s done wasting time. But someone else believes Eilidh belongs to them. Someone who has been watching her far longer than she realizes. Just when she thinks she might have everything she wants, Eilidh finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a person intent on destroying everything she holds dear.

 

 

Review:


The end of an era. It’s a funny thing- I have been so looking forward to this book while at the same time also hoping it would never come because it would mean it’s over. This series (and The Adairs, obviously) has been one of my most favorite series I have ever read and it truly feels like the end of an era. It feels as though it’s time to part with an old friend you aren’t ready to let go of yet. How wild is that, to become so attached to a fictional family of characters you’ll never know but love even still? It is a true testament to Samantha Young’s talent for writing as well as her love of her home land in Scotland. 


Each and every story in both of these series have been incredible and this book was absolutely no different. I have been intrigued by Fyfe since he, Lewis and Eils were kids. I’ve anticipated reading Eilidh’s story for so long, finding out all the things she tries to hide from everyone except for her love of a certain boy. The addition of Millie to this story was absolutely unexpected but so utterly perfect. Reading of Fyfe with Millie- I just can’t even describe it. Just fictional perfection. No wonder Eils fell more and more in love. They are the perfect fit for each other, the perfect partners for each other, and they represent the perfect ending of this story. 


Parting is such sweet sorrow but I’m so thankful to have been on this journey with you, Samantha Young. Thank you for sharing these characters, this world with us. Both of these series will stay with me for a long time and I’m sure will have a few re-reads coming soon. Thank you for your gift of the 2nd epilogue, what a treat to revisit all those we’ve fallen for in the past. While I am sad to see this story end, I can’t wait for the next series you create. ❤️

He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Alta Hensley review & release blitz!

 


He Sees You When You're Sleeping by Alta Hensley is now live!


Why choose between naughty or nice in this steamy, suspenseful Christmas-themed stalker romance that’s perfect for dark romance readers seeking a spicy, festive read.

It’s the night before Christmas and I’m alone in the house…



Popular jewelry influencer Chloe Hallman is steeling herself to spend another holiday on her own. Instead, she finds herself drawn to two different guys… a smoldering hot fan of her secret, seductive online persona, and a sexy fireman named Jack who looks out for her in their NYC neighborhood.

She has no idea that I know her better than she knows herself. Her deepest secrets, her darkest desires—she's careful, but I’ve been watching, never leaving footprints in the snow outside her home.

Jack was the first responder to the accident that stole a beautiful young woman's family two Christmases ago, and he's been quietly guarding her ever since. When Jack uncovers Chloe’s secret account, his obsession only grows. Both he and Chloe are drawn to the darkness that mirrors their own.



She’s my Christmas wish come true. And I'm hers. She just doesn’t know it yet.



Will Chloe’s Christmas be a tale of fiery passion...or a dangerous game with a man whose love knows no bounds?

Review:


Wow. What a wild ride that was. I am honestly a little perplexed by my own feelings after reading this book. I will say, this book definitely kept me intrigued. It was one of those books where you may not know how you feel about what’s happening in the book, but you still just absolutely have to find out what’s going to happen next in the next chapter. I’ve never really read a stalker romance and have conflicting feelings about it even now after finishing this one, but I will say this book was so intriguing just to know how it was all going to play out. The end did feel a little anti-climactic for me as I was hoping there would be a little more drama than what occurred but overall this book kept me entertained and needing to know how this story would play out! If you are in the mood for a holiday themed, super spicy stalker/hero romance, look no farther- this is absolutely the book for you! Thank you to Alta & Valentine PR for the opportunity to read and review this book!

From Air by Jewel E. Ann review & release blitz!

 




Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Jewel E. Ann parachutes into the burning, hazardous heart of love in a sexy yet dramatic romance set in Big Sky country.

When Jamie Andrews moves in with a house full of firefighters, things start heating up fast. Battling the wilderness of rural Montana, these guys are always charging into danger—for a living, for duty, for the rush—and since Jamie is a psychiatric nurse, they fascinate her analytic mind. She can’t help but fixate on Calvin, a grumpy, enigmatic smoke jumper ten years her senior. She makes playfully tormenting him her pet project, trying to get him to open up. It turns out he gives as good as he gets.

When something smoldering between them sparks, they’ll have to keep it quiet, which makes Jamie start to wonder about Calvin’s secret, the one he won’t explain. She’ll learn more after life pulls them apart. But as she follows the truth like a trail of flame into the dark, will it lead her to hearth and home with Calvin…or will it all go up in a blaze?





Review:


All the freaking feels with this book. Calvin and Jaymes made me feel like laughing, crying, smiling and having my heart squeezed and stomped on all at the same time. They are two characters I will not soon be forgetting. 


I’m not going to lie, the angst in this book was near constant. I physically felt the pain of these characters and literal tension in my body for them and everything they went through. The constant wondering of if/when they’ll end up together and what it’s going to look like along the way. I also really freaking loved that Fitz was a smoke jumper and she was a travel nurse exploring the country! Their careers fit their characters so well and honestly brought an extra level to this story that I really enjoyed. I also loved all of the side characters as well, but Will especially. I hope he gets a book out of this deal and I wonder if it’ll be Maren! 


Anyway, From Air is just another wonderful reminder of how talented an author Jewel E Ann is. I am a big fan of her writing and love how she can always come out with a story so different from any of her other books, but always, always has a way of making the characters so memorable, relatable, enjoyable, etc. I loved the slow burn of this book. I loved Calvin and just wanted to hug him and tell him to let himself be loved. Jaymes is a ray of freaking sunshine and anyone who doesn’t love her must be crazy. Overall, I just loved this book and hope you’ll take the time to check it out too!

From Here to Eternity by A.L. Jackson Review & Release Blitz!

 From Here to Eternity by A.L. Jackson is now live!


 

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop...

Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that.

My life is dangerous.

My calling wicked.

Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent.

I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office.

The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts.

When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

Twenty questions to earn her trust.

Too bad trusting me is the last thing she should do.

With one kiss, I’m addicted.  With one night, we’re falling into a passion greater than either of us has ever known.

The voices in my head warn I can never keep her. She can’t know the secret life I lead.

Only she’s keeping a secret, too.

And I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means losing everything…  


Review:


What a journey this book has been. AL Jackson ALWAYS has a way of writing books that are filled with characters you can’t help but love, storylines that keep you enthralled from page to page, and the ability to make the reader feel a full range of emotions throughout the book. From Here to Eternity was no exception! River and Charleigh’s story was so good I didn’t want to stop reading. Pesky things like sleep and responsibilities got in the way, but every time I had the chance to pull up my Kindle app I was devouring this book word for word. Charleigh’s story was beyond heartbreaking and reading through this book, it was easy to feel her pain, her sorrow, her grief, but also her will to live. By the end of this book, it was so exciting to see how far she’d come as a character and no longer let her fear define her. A lot of that had to do with the love and encouragement River gave her, too. Man, who wouldn’t want a fella like that on their side?! Even with the hard things his character has had to to, his heart is pure and he is beyond loyal to those he cares about and even those he doesn’t know but feels the need to protect. I love his relationship with Raven. I love Raven & Charleigh’s friendship. And Nolan… precious, sweet Nolan! That little boy had me all up in my feels! There really isn’t any character in this book (apart from the obvious villain in the story) that I didn’t love. Sign me up for Moonlit Ridge and the SS family! It was also so good to get some glimpses of the Redemption Hills family I fell in love with in another series of AL Jackson’s. Trent and Jud and their families will always be some of my favorite fictional characters! Overall, I just loved this story. It was full of suspense for me as the reader, desperately needing to know how the story was going to end, and wondering how all the details before the end would fall into place. It ended with quite a bang, but not altogether differently than I expected. I am anxiously going to be awaiting Raven’s story next!!
